Use Rust-Oleum to bring life to a dull rocking horse. Add bright colours and fun finishes to transform your rocking horse into a playful piece for children.
STEPS
1. PREPARE: Always work in a well-ventilated area. Cover nearby items with a drop cloth to protect from spray mist. Clean surfaces with a lint-free cloth..
2. PAINT: Rocking Horse: Shake can of White Primer spray for 1 minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Hold can upright 25-40cm from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart. Once primer is dried, apply coats of your desired colour to the rocking horse. Hold can upright 25-40cm from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs.
Handles: Once dry, cover the entire horse with a plastic bag, exposing only the handles of the Rocking Horse. Use painter’s tape to secure the bag around the handles. Take Metalic spray paint and hold can upright 25-40cm from surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart.
3. FINISH: Remove plastic bag, and allow to dry for 24 hours before handling.
